Oddly enough, the price of the ticket from JFK to Kiev went DOWN since yesterday. So we saved about $40/ per ticket there. But the tickets from Orlando to JFK went up $20/each, we still came out a little ahead. After listening to all the pros and cons (thank you blog buddies and travel experts K&C) we settled on purchasing the one way tickets. I know for a fact that Robert will come back immediately following court. I'm not sure what I will do. It would be cheaper for me to stay, but I don't know how things would play out on the home front with Robert trying to work and take care of our four. Don't get me wrong, he is totally capable. I just don't know if that would be the best thing for everyone.
My weekdays are packed between now and the time we leave, so I am hoping to make the most of the weekends to get everything accomplished in preparation for our journey. Little things, like not having a bed for Kristina yet, are grating at me. I know it will all get worked out. Its just I had planned on painting the girls room and getting new linens if the budget allowed. Our 11 year old Hannah took a sewing class last weekend and sewed an adorable pillowcase for her bed pillow. She wants to make a matching one for Kristina. Maybe she'll figure out how to sew a matching comforted and shams before we get back from Ukraine! Maybe not. Anyone want to do a last minute Trading Spaces episode?

Leslie - make sure someone if videotaping your reunion with Kristina. I wish we had our reunion with Anastasia taped. I can still remember her squealing and jumping . . . I'm so excited for you. You were smart to get one way tickets. Besides not having to pay a change fee - it gives you the flexibility of flying home on whatever airline has room!
That is awesome!! My airline tickets were 1,400 adoption fare through Delta!!!! That was cheaper than regular airfares!!!
I am so excited for you, your family and Kristina.... YEAH HOME BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!! Hey for that matter THANKSGIVING....

God is certainly taking care of you! These are great deals on the airline tickets! Things will work out with the bed. I am praying for all of you!
